I do think in certain sense, IB is easier to score as you are literally "in charge' of your results pathway...ie doing coursework industriously, building up passion by presentations/research i personally think IB is really useful compared to a levels although im from a level...A-Level is actually in another way, rote learning ala UK style...even Uk govt and eucators now have some controversial over the syllabus of a levels and things might be shaking up quite soon...CIE has also already 2 years ago came up with thier versio of IB namely Cambridge pre-uni . A* can be harder even to attain sometimes bcos it solely depends on yor exams and if you don't do well, that's it, whereas in IB, final exams only boils down to a small part of your course compared to the other components ie. EE,TOK, comm service

yup2, but as u c, the fate is stil in CIE's hand,lol.. you cant really expect what type of questions they will just throw at you, whereas i think in IB, you will be well aware of your assingment topic, and you can research as far as the heavens...but depending on stress level, i think IB is definitely much more strenous, especially when there are lots of assignments and tight deadlines to drive you crazy.
